Did you make your birthday publically visible? I believe there's an option for that too.

If you mean the calendar on the forums, you don't need to put it there; it will automatically be there if you set your birthdate in your profile.

What do you mean, "put it on the calendar"? o.o

Umm, quick question, who do I go to to put my birthday on the calander? My birthday is October 20th, 1994.

Bwahahahahaha! Thank you ever so much for giving me a way to translate my zodiac into Icelandic. I'm going to put it in my forum signature when the server isn't busy.

Kind of. It was really just the first thing I thought of while still looking at his name. :P

Can't do anything about the connotations being different, then. xp

I noticed that the joke that involved "DRAG on Flyc ave." had your father as one of the "satisfied customers". And is "William Doors" a reference to his name?

No. You're thinking of my dad's website, which has always been at http://www.vilhjalmur.com, and was therefore sometimes stumbled upon by my visitors when the site's main URL was http://www.vilhjalmur.com/butterfree.

Wasn't there once a year when you redirected the site address into something beginning with V, and it was a (n Icelandic?) tribute to some bloke? Or am I dreaming this?

(Though the too-archaic point still stands and gives it different connotations than "Þér eruð fífl." "Ye" sounds mostly old, while "þér" is mostly way ultra-formal and secondarily old.)

Polymetric: Huh, you're right. My mistake. Should have thought to fact-check that, but for some reason I was really sure you and ye were the other way around (misguided by the vowels' parallel to thou/thee, I guess).

Lol, I thought it was hilarious that some people actually believed it. I'd sooner believe Ash dumped Pikachu XD

Actually, on second thought - are you sure you're correct about "ye suck" being grammatically equivalent to "me suck"? For all I know, I could be wrong - I haven't exactly studied the usage of "ye" and other such English pronouns that have fallen out of use - but I went to look up the pronouns and, unless I'm misreading that chart, ye seems to fall in line with "I" in terms of usage. Like if you were to say "I present to thee…" it's roughly equivalent to "I/[you] present to me…" (except with a different pronoun) as opposed to "I/[you] present to I…". And you might say "Thou are correct" about something which, when using a first-person pronoun, becomes "I am correct" rather than "Me am/are correct". If that's the case I would think that ye would follow the same usage as I/thou since the table has it in the same column (honestly I don't know what nominative/oblique actually mean, so) - so if that's the case wouldn't "I suck", "Thou suck" and "Ye suck" all be grammatically equivalent? Like I said I could be entirely wrong but… idk, something about you saying that "ye suck" was grammatically equivalent to "me suck" just struck me in an odd way.

Okay, that's fair. Man, if that doesn't work I wish there was some way to translate the idea into English :/

Polymetric: It's not the same. "Þér eruð fífl" is the grammatically correct way to use the respectful "you" in that sentence, as opposed to "ye suck" which is grammatically equivalent to "me suck" - the nonsense grammar takes away from the ultra-serious air the stuffy word usage is supposed to give it. Plus, it's not quite that archaic; there are people alive today who grew up addressing (for instance) teachers that way.

Looking at the Google Translate results, I think an Engrish easter egg would be fun.

Could always start using "Ye suck"/"Ye are an idiot" for the poll options. :p
